Editing Rogue (Marvel Comics) (section)

===X-Treme X-Men team===
Rogue is part of the [[X-Treme X-Men]] team led by [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]]. The team's first mission is in search of [[Destiny (Irene Adler)#The Books of Truth|Destiny's diaries]] (which prophesy future events). During an invasion of [[Khan (comics)|Khan]] (an alien conqueror from another dimension) of the island nation of [[Madripoor]], Rogue requests that [[Sage (comics)|Sage]] use her power of jump-starting abilities to evolve her to a point where she can control all of the various powers that she has ever absorbed. Sage agrees, and Rogue becomes a one-woman army, able to use the powers of anyone she absorbed in the past all at once.<ref>''X-Treme X-Men'' #13 (July 2002). Marvel Comics</ref>

During Khan's invasion, Rogue is also confronted by [[Vargas (comics)|Vargas]] who is said to be "a new species altogether". Vargas foresees himself being killed by Rogue in [[Destiny (Irene Adler)|Destiny]]'s diaries and, despite his belief in the prophecies, attempts to stop this occurrence from happening. Thus, in the midst of the invasion battle, Vargas ambushes Rogue as she is trying to rescue Gambit (see ''[[X-Treme X-Men]]''), spearing both Rogue and Gambit with his blade before escaping. Rogue survives due to possessing both Wolverine and the [[Hulk]]'s powers. Returning to the city shortly after the battle to recover his sword, Vargas is surprised in turn by Rogue dressed in Psylocke's costume (Vargas having killed [[Betsy Braddock|Psylocke]] earlier for sport). After a lengthy battle, Rogue fulfills "her destiny" by seemingly finishing Vargas off with his own weapon. Returning to Gambit, Rogue, with the help of [[Jean Grey]], forces him from near death in the astral plane.<ref>''X-Treme X-Men'' #17 (October 2002). Marvel Comics</ref>

Following the repulsion of the invasion, Rogue realizes that Destiny's prophecies are only possibilities and that trying to follow them is more dangerous than ignoring them. She also learns that she inherited a mansion in New Orleans from Destiny, as well as a sizable fortune, and the X-Treme X-Men team retire there to recuperate. Rogue soon leaves the team with Gambit. After emerging powerless from their ordeals, the two want to explore their relationship further.<ref>''X-Treme X-Men'' #19 (December 2002). Marvel Comics</ref>

After life on the road, the couple ends up living in a beach house in Valle Soleada, a town where mutants and humans coexist peacefully. She works as a motorcycle mechanic, while Gambit is often "on the road" (implying he is thieving or on missions with Storm). She subsequently receives a visit from [[Bishop (comics)|Bishop]] and Sage and, after a series of events involving an investigation into the murder of a human girl's family, Rogue and Gambit sign up with Bishop and Sage to help Storm's X-Treme X-Men stop Sage's enemy and former boss Elias Bogan. After the battle, Rogue asks Sage to restore Gambit's abilities, which she does. Gambit asks if the same can be done for Rogue, but it is never revisited after Rogue quickly dismisses his comment.<ref name="X-Treme X-Men' 2004">''X-Treme X-Men'' #46 (June 2004).
